Video: Welcome to One-on-One

(Music playing.) Hi, I am Deke McClelland. Hello and welcome to Photoshop CS4 One-on-One, my cradle-to-grave, everything-you- need-to-know series on Adobe Photoshop. As the name One-on-One implies, I walk you through Photoshop as if I were teaching it to you in a classroom or corporate consulting environment, except that instead of getting lost in the crowd of students, you receive my individualized attention.

There's no program like Photoshop for editing photographs and creating photorealistic artwork. And there's no Photoshop teacher like industry expert and Photoshop Hall-of-Famer Deke McClelland. In Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals, Deke examines the essential capabilities of the application, from correcting color to retouching portraits. He also covers navigation, resolution, cropping, selecting, printing, and making web graphics. This course goes beyond basic tips and tricks, and provides the in-depth information and real-world context needed by serious students who want to master the software. Exercise files accompany the course.

Q: After installing Deke McClelland’s custom color settings in Photoshop, images sent via email or printed have an unexpected color cast. Also, when opening JPEG or PSD images, the color profile is listed as Uncalibrated. Are Deke’s preferences the cause of these problems?

A: If properly implemented, Deke McClelland’s custom color settings will cause any new image to be saved with a color profile.
When saving an archived image (one you've created or edited in the past), choose File>Save As and turn on the Embed Color Porfile: Adobe RGB (1998) check box.
If the issue remains unresolved, you csan reset the color settings by choosing Edit > Color Settings and then changing Settings to North America General Purpose 2.
